I've had this camera since 1979 and made many photographs with it.
Wood is in overall good shape and was varnished before I bought it.
Brass is in very good shape and would polish up nicely. Bellows are light tight and look good but are a little stiff. Leather hand strap is in great condition for it's age. It has rear swing and tilt, front rise/fall and shift. Movements are limited due to the nature of the construction. Dates from around 1946. I wouldn't call it an antique but it would make a nice addition to a collection or take it out and shoot with it. Used to draw a lot of attention when I took it out in public. I've been using my Speed Graphic as a field camera for a few years now so this camera hasn't seen any use.
Asking $250 for this old classic and will include shipping.
3% will go back to APUG.
Thanks for looking.

Edit. Made a dumb mistake on the title. It is a Crown View not a Graphic View. Oops.
